WEBVTT - Chapter 2: Written In Blood

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 1>You were listening to Strawberry Spring, based on a short

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 1>story by Stephen King. It's early, too early to deal

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.280
<v Speaker 1>with this. That crowd of reporters is about the last

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 1>thing I need. Henry Kevin, what are you doing here?

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>The same as everyone else. I'm here for information. Listeners

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>will want to know what's going on. For Christ's sakes.

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:52.480
<v Speaker 1>I want to know what's going on, don't you. It's

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>too soon. I don't have anything for you. Henry. We

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 1>we got back a long time, right, Yeah, you know

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 1>we do as long as I can remember. Great. So

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>if you know anything, anything at all, accounting one. See,

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:09.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm just a little guy around here. I need all

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>the help I can get. You and me. We're a team.

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:19.479
<v Speaker 1>We're not a team. Maybe in your head. We're a team.

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>My head, your head. What's the difference. I gotta go,

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>let's see the Dean. Alright, I'm gonna go lose myself

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:40.680
<v Speaker 1>in the crowd. Good luck. It's been eight years. Why

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.120
<v Speaker 1>would spring heeled Jack come back to New Sharon? Now?

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Look at the press setting about there. They're like vultures

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 1>just waiting to pounds. We have to prepare a statement.

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Tell me everything you can about this guy, What do

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>you know that we don't? What do you want to know?

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>You wrote a book on spring Hill Jack murders. What's

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>in this thing that's gonna help us catch him? Look,

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Last time he just stopped killing. He disappeared,

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.799
<v Speaker 1>vanished into thin air. I don't know what happened to

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 1>spring Hill Jack any more than you do. Well, we

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 1>must have been close to catching him, probably scared him off.

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>How do we know it's really him and not just

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the copycat? I don't, but I can tell you police

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>work has come a long way since n This is

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 1>six and this time it's going to be different. Now.

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Either spring Hill Jack is back or someone read your

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.880
<v Speaker 1>book and is looking to make a name for themselves.

0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 1>This murder, the one last night he copied Jack's m O.

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.519
<v Speaker 1>He chopped her head off. For Christ's sake, Jesus, I'll

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 1>do whatever I can to help. What can you tell

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 1>me about what you found? He's more violent than ever.

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Half her body was missing, and what's left over was

0:02:56.160 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 1>draped across the snow. You should know we asked and

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>to come down too, And I haven't talked to her

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>since the book came out. I haven't thought about Anne

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 1>for some time. After my book on Spring heel Jack

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 1>was published, I got a taste of fame and fortune,

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 1>and she went on to become a journalist. She resented

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the fact that I wrote the book, since we both

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.120
<v Speaker 1>covered the story. She always said I as a narcissist,

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 1>a better suited for celebrity. I always thought she should

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 1>be a psych major, but Rachel had that base covering.

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I guess we all ended up where we're supposed to be.

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>No one knows this guy better than the two of

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 1>you did. Did you see the Globe? It's on the

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 1>front page. Anne wrote this. How did she get the

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>story so quickly? It went out on the wire? We

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>live in modern times. Okay, yeah, I'm gonna have to

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 1>go out there and talk to the press. Are you

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 1>canceling classes? I have four I'm supposed to teach today.

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 1>What do I tell my students? Don't do anything yet.

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll bring an army on this campus before I let

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>this guy up in my town again. Henry, can we

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 1>count on you? I told you I'll do whatever I

0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>can to help catch him. We know you will. Now,

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>let's all go out there and talk to the press together.

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Strengthen numbers right, Gee Spencer, why do you think spring

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.919
<v Speaker 1>Hill Jack has come back? At this is point, we

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 1>cannot confirm that this is the work of spring Hill Jack.

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Dean Edwards, how is this going to affect the university?

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Our class is going to be canceled as of now. UM,

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 1>we're going to increase security on campus. We have not

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>made any decisions about our schedule. Our first priorities to

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.719
<v Speaker 1>the students of New Sharon and we will continue to

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>make sure they get the best and safest education possible.

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to thank you all for coming, but that

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 1>is all. I have two questions for Professor Dinon. You

0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 1>were here during the first wave of killing. You wrote next,

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I was on the murders. Why do you think Springhill

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 1>jackal's returning. I have to echo what Chief Spencer said,

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>we do not know if this is really spring Heel Jack.

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>My second question, since you made a name for yourself

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:16.599
<v Speaker 1>off of them, are you worried for your safety? My

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.479
<v Speaker 1>safety when it all started. That was the last thing

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:24.280
<v Speaker 1>on my mind the night they arrested carl Anna Laura

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 1>for Gail Kerman's murder. I remember staying at the Times

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.400
<v Speaker 1>late and and I were probably there until three in

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>the morning. Nice Reny you too. You're a pretty good editor.

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>You know that I don't, but that's nice to hear.

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Be honest, though, you thought we were going to break

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:50.159
<v Speaker 1>a big story, didn't you. Well, I don't know. This

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 1>is a small New England town. I'm not expecting too much.

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>But as far as I'm concerned, we should treat every

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.160
<v Speaker 1>story like it's going to be big. Otherwise, what are

0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 1>we doing here? I hadn't thought about it that way.

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:07.279
<v Speaker 1>That's why I'm the editor and you're not. Cheers to

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 1>a job well done. Do you remember the first time

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 1>we've met? So you asked me out sort of you

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.719
<v Speaker 1>were you were the freshman editor for The Times. I

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:27.160
<v Speaker 1>submitted an opinion piece. Then I asked you out. I

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>don't remember that part. What did I say? Oh? You

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 1>turned me down on both accounts. You were very professional.

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I should have been less professional and and hey,

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 1>you know I'm serious about Rachel. I know, it's just

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 1>what is it? No, my head, it's killing me. Wait

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 1>here here, let me rub your temples. Just stop. Sorry,

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:57.040
<v Speaker 1>but that's it's not helping. Is there anything I can do? No? Look,

0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I gotta go. I need to get outside. All right.

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 1>The only anything that helps is just walking fresh air.

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Henry Ship, Oh Jesus, are you all right? Yeah? I

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 1>turned when I heard you didn't see ros. You gotta

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 1>be more careful. I mean, there's a killer on the loose. Man.

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.520
<v Speaker 1>You need some help here, Let me lend your hand.

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Thanks anytime, buddy, No Oneman was there for you think?

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Who would do such a thing? Who knows? Sometimes people

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 1>just crack under pressure. I you think about it, Vincent,

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>then go what he cut off his ear? Tell me

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 1>that's not cracking under pressure. I can barely follow this

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 1>conversation exactly my point. You can't understand what makes a

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 1>man crack. Van Goh was in love. Sometimes it's the

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.840
<v Speaker 1>little things. He cut his ear off. Who are you

0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>to judge out a run? Need to grab something to

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 1>eat before I get to sleep. Stay on the path.

0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.840
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to slip and fall. Thanks for the advice.

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Who's that, Rachel? It's me, Henry. It's three in the morning.

0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Open up, please, Oh my god, you're filthy. What happened?

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.719
<v Speaker 1>I was on my way back from the Times. I

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 1>had a few drinks and the migraines said it and

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I tripped on one of those germs. Here's a towel.

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:52.079
<v Speaker 1>Tut yourself off. Thanks, shop ship. Look at your floor.

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.040
<v Speaker 1>It's a mess. Don't worry about it. I'll deal with

0:08:56.080 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 1>it in the morning. Are you okay? My head hurts,

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:05.680
<v Speaker 1>but I'll be okay. No permanent injuries except maybe my pride.

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've been thinking about it, and your migraines

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 1>might be psychosomatic. What do you mean, remember when we

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>talked about emotional memory. Yeah, so I think if we

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:23.560
<v Speaker 1>can figure out what's triggering your headaches, maybe we can

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 1>help you get rid of them. We just promised me

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 1>we could keep Rachel my girlfriend, separate from Rachel the

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:35.960
<v Speaker 1>aspiring psychiatrist. I'll do my best, fair enough to be

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 1>honest at this point, I'll try anything. You have some water,

0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.559
<v Speaker 1>as far as you remember, you never had migraines before

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:50.720
<v Speaker 1>your accident, right, No, I didn't. Do you think you

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 1>can try and remember what happened. Are you sure you're

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 1>not forgetting anything. I'll do my best. It was really

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 1>hard to see that night we hit the fog bank.

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 1>It swerved right before we crashed. Mom, Junior, I remember

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 1>crawling along the side of the road. I saw the deer,

0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:29.960
<v Speaker 1>my mom had. It was crippled but still alive. Blood

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.959
<v Speaker 1>was dripping from its mouth, steam puffed from its nose.

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:37.560
<v Speaker 1>In the cold night air, I worked my way over

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 1>to him. He tried to kick at me, but didn't

0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 1>have the strength. I looked it in the eyes. The

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 1>pupils were dilated. All I could see was my reflection

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 1>of pure black. I tried to comfort it. You're okay,

0:10:56.240 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 1>you're good, be okay. It took all of my strength

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:09.439
<v Speaker 1>and loaded out of its misery. After that, the sirens

0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 1>got louder, and all I remember is waking up on

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:19.200
<v Speaker 1>the kurney. It's awful, Thank God, you're okay. The doctor

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 1>said I had a concussion. That when I went through

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the windshield, I damaged my frontal lobe, but nobody was

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.200
<v Speaker 1>sure if there was going to be any permanent damage.

0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 1>That's when the migraines started, the insomnia, the bad dreams.

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.280
<v Speaker 1>You're lucky you were able to walk away from something

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>like that. Lucky, I guess, so my mom and little

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 1>brother weren't so fortunate. All that matters now is that

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>your hair. Come on, let's got some sleep. Good morning,

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 1>good boarding. Whould you sleep pretty good? I don't think

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I moved a muscle. That's you're funny. I'm gonna make

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:22.839
<v Speaker 1>some coffee. It's mar teenth for what is worth. There

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 1>was an arrest overnight of Carl m Laura. He's accused

0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 1>of killing Gail Kerman two nights ago in the Animal

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Sciences parking lot across from Shreeve Hall. Hey, Rachel, I

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.559
<v Speaker 1>gotta go. Do you want something to eat? No, I

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.559
<v Speaker 1>gotta get to the paper. They arrested the amur guy

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 1>for the Kerman murder. You're not going to believe this.

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea got her hands on a copy of the Blue

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.960
<v Speaker 1>support for m Lara. It says here he hasn't confessed

0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 1>to anything, and he claims he's innocent. Well it doesn't

0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.319
<v Speaker 1>everyone claim they're innocent. If they arrested him, they must

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.920
<v Speaker 1>have something they do. They used with some students in

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.200
<v Speaker 1>his dorm. It turns out he was seen arguing with

0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.679
<v Speaker 1>Gail Kerman last month the grinder and get this, they

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.439
<v Speaker 1>just broke up last week. Wait, so that's enough to

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 1>pin a murder on him? People break up on campus

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 1>every day of the week. His roommates said he was

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.680
<v Speaker 1>and I'm quoting here, despondent and the police found a

0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 1>seven inch hunting knife and his foot locker under his

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.760
<v Speaker 1>bed again maybe, oh and one more thing, and said

0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 1>that foot locker was a picture of Gail Kerman, slice

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.360
<v Speaker 1>to ribbons like a kitty scissor. Class got ahold of

0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:33.199
<v Speaker 1>it and cut it up like a paper doll. Fair enough? Hello,

0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 1>right now, what's up? Tean Edwards is calling all students

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:55.240
<v Speaker 1>back to the quad. Rachel over here. What's this all about? First?

0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to thank you all for coming on. I

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 1>know we all been through a lot in the past

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.319
<v Speaker 1>few days, and I also want to thank Captin Spencer

0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.959
<v Speaker 1>and the new Sharing Police Department from their find Was

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:13.120
<v Speaker 1>it already the reason I've called you here today? We

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:17.120
<v Speaker 1>have great news. I'll turn it over to Captain Spencer.

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Thank you, Dean Edwards. As you all may

0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 1>have heard, we did apprehend the suspect overnight and feel

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 1>confident that we do. Indeed, you have Gail Kerman's killer

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and cousin. Thank god. I feel a little better. I

0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>feel like I can fath them. And on that note,

0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.720
<v Speaker 1>we will be removing the curfew from campus and I

0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:42.800
<v Speaker 1>hope you all can get back to work, put this

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.680
<v Speaker 1>behind you and study forbid terms with a little luck

0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the weather, we'll start to break two in the meantime.

0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Thank you all for coming, and please remember to look

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.280
<v Speaker 1>out for each other. It's like working out from a nightmare.

0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about you, but I need a drink.

0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Let head to the grinder and have a few years.

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Here you go eat. I don't want any food tonight.

0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I think we're all set from now. Thanks, here's the

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 1>feeling safe again. I have to admit I do feel better.

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 1>This whole thing is so hard to leave. Honestly, who

0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 1>would do something like that? Can you imagine? Almost have

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.800
<v Speaker 1>trusted him, spent time with him, and then he goes

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 1>and does that. It's crazy. And to think he used

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:41.840
<v Speaker 1>to work here. I just don't get it. I guess

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 1>you never know what someone is thinking or when they

0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 1>might crack. Henry, he didn't just crack, he butchered her.

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I know, but look, you're the psych major. Look around.

0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:57.360
<v Speaker 1>It's a sign of the times. JFK. Civil rights violence

0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:02.800
<v Speaker 1>is everywhere. Maybe the pressure just Scott, what have we here?

0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Just ignore them? It looks like someone is getting her

0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 1>civil rights. Do you mind? Oh? I don't mind at all.

0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Why don't you go back to your beers? We're not

0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.960
<v Speaker 1>bothering you, Actually you are. I think it's better if

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 1>you just go somewhere else. Maybe go to the park

0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.280
<v Speaker 1>or the zoo. What the fund did you just say?

0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:28.080
<v Speaker 1>You heard him, Henry? Don't Yeah, Henry, you don't want

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.000
<v Speaker 1>to get hurt in front of your girlfriend. Oh look,

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.120
<v Speaker 1>he has a knife. What are you gonna do with that?

0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I'll use it on you? Say one world word.

0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Come on, Henry, let's just go. Hey, hut the knife down. Yeah, Henry,

0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:48.360
<v Speaker 1>put the knife down before someone gets hurt, because it's

0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:58.480
<v Speaker 1>probably gonna be you good thinking. Let's go. What were

0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 1>you going to do with that knife? Yeah? I don't know,

0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:05.160
<v Speaker 1>probably cut myself. But I wasn't going to let them

0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.919
<v Speaker 1>talk to you like that. I'm sorry. They have no

0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.480
<v Speaker 1>right to speak to you that way. You like my

0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:15.679
<v Speaker 1>night and shining Armor? Come on, go back to my place.

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:22.240
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's about four. We hurried back to Rachel's apartment.

0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Now that I think about it, I don't know what

0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I would have done to those guys in the grind

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 1>or that night. I just know my blood was boiling.

0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:36.040
<v Speaker 1>If Rachel wasn't there, I'm not sure what would have happened.

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:40.040
<v Speaker 1>But thank god she was. I could have ended up

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:49.120
<v Speaker 1>in jail or worse dead. I fell asleep at Rachel's

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:52.760
<v Speaker 1>place that night, but it didn't last long. My head

0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:55.679
<v Speaker 1>started to hurt. It could have been the argument in

0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the bar. It could have been a million things. Either way,

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I knew I was gonna need some fresh air. I

0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 1>was quiet, I always am. I didn't want to wake her.

0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Rachel always looked so peaceful when she slept. She was

0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 1>always so calm and relaxed, even in the presence of

0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:18.520
<v Speaker 1>full blown racism. I was jealous that her inner peace

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:22.560
<v Speaker 1>eluded me. I could hear the trees rustling in the wind.

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:28.480
<v Speaker 1>When I looked out, all I could see was fog, white, impenetrable.

0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.359
<v Speaker 1>I got dressed and slipped out of the department. It's

0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the lat show with me, d JN. It's been a

0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:38.639
<v Speaker 1>lot to handle the past few days. Year and New Sharon.

0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:42.359
<v Speaker 1>I had one of those portable radios back then, the

0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:44.639
<v Speaker 1>kind with the one ear piece and almost fit in

0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:48.040
<v Speaker 1>your ear. As strange as it was, it was good

0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:51.479
<v Speaker 1>to hear a familiar voice, and for some reason, Kevin

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:53.800
<v Speaker 1>never bothered my head in this. Let me take a

0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.119
<v Speaker 1>request and I'd help you forget about your troubles. So

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.040
<v Speaker 1>here's anything you want to hear. Give me a ring.

0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:01.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll do I best to play it for you. In

0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the meantime, there's something new for you to check out.

0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:07.639
<v Speaker 1>When I can't sleep, when my insomnia and migraine sit in,

0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I walk. I've been doing it for years, just so

0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:14.040
<v Speaker 1>now taking the night air and try to relax. Breathing

0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 1>in the fog. It's like an out of body experience.

0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:19.440
<v Speaker 1>The myths seems to creep into every pore. I can

0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:22.919
<v Speaker 1>just forget about everything and let my mind wander. It

0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.359
<v Speaker 1>was a long forty eight hours since they found Gail

0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Kerman's body. I was fried. I started those two days

0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:31.600
<v Speaker 1>with a hangover, and by the time that was over,

0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I felt like a freight train had driven through my head.

0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 1>If I remember correctly, the fog was pretty thick that night,

0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:42.360
<v Speaker 1>and sure not without realize in it, I found myself

0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:46.040
<v Speaker 1>right back at the Animal Science It's parking lot. Long

0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:55.920
<v Speaker 1>request you were out there, no matter, remember your mother

0:19:56.040 --> 0:20:02.359
<v Speaker 1>her money? Yeah. The police tape was wet, almost slippery.

0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I tried to imagine what Gail Kerman's last moments must

0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:10.000
<v Speaker 1>have been like. Walking to her car, and Laura coming

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.320
<v Speaker 1>up from behind her, the violence and brutality of the

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:18.639
<v Speaker 1>knife tearing through her coat, ripping at her skin. The

0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:22.600
<v Speaker 1>snow was running off, dripping down the embankment. I got

0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:25.400
<v Speaker 1>distracted by a couple under the street light. I couldn't

0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 1>see their faces, just the outline of their shadows. The

0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:30.399
<v Speaker 1>radio was playing and seemed to be getting louder and

0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:33.399
<v Speaker 1>louder like I couldn't turn it off. Between that and

0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:37.400
<v Speaker 1>the dripping water, the footsteps, the footsteps, I couldn't lower

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.840
<v Speaker 1>the volume. My head was splitting. I've been thinking about

0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 1>that foggy night when I walked past all those shadows.

0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:47.359
<v Speaker 1>I remember my mouth being dry and the fog being thick,

0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:50.520
<v Speaker 1>but I can't seem to remember much else. And Samnia

0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 1>will do that to you though, make you walking zombie.

0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.119
<v Speaker 1>The only saving grace was that there was no reason

0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:59.119
<v Speaker 1>to be alarmed. Emma Laura, the new Sharon Killer was

0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:01.680
<v Speaker 1>in custody, which is probably why no one on campus

0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:05.120
<v Speaker 1>had a worry in the world. I decided to head

0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:18.359
<v Speaker 1>back to Rachel's place and trying to get spress. I

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:25.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know why call me If you want to take

0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:28.200
<v Speaker 1>a break, I might swing by the fine mood Delta House.

0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I know some of the boys there, and I'm sure

0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:32.840
<v Speaker 1>they'd be happy if I brought a friend. They're having

0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:35.680
<v Speaker 1>their annual spring fling. You want to meet up? Maybe

0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:38.720
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like a lot more fun than this. I'm

0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:40.159
<v Speaker 1>parked right in front. You want me to give you

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:43.159
<v Speaker 1>a ride? No, I'm just on the other side of campus.

0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:48.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll walk, thanks, though, suit yourself, Okay, I'll give you

0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:59.840
<v Speaker 1>a ring before I head out tonight. H shit, Oh

0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:04.320
<v Speaker 1>damn it. Where did those books go? You see? Probably

0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:11.959
<v Speaker 1>cy Latin Science Swear the other two? Hello, excuse me,

0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:13.840
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to see you out here. If you come

0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:40.920
<v Speaker 1>across a couple of books, those are probably it has

0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:46.879
<v Speaker 1>to be somewhere. I when did you get home? Just

0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:51.119
<v Speaker 1>pulled in. I thought you weren't going to be late. Yeah,

0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:57.199
<v Speaker 1>I uh yeah, I wasn't. Um. After I met with

0:22:57.240 --> 0:23:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Dean Edwards and Chief Spencer, I had to finish grading papers,

0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I stopped for some milk and came home. That's it,

0:23:06.280 --> 0:23:11.800
<v Speaker 1>that's it. Weren't you out with Jennifer or one of

0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:15.400
<v Speaker 1>your female students at the grinder trying to impress you

0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:23.800
<v Speaker 1>or get extra credits? I'm rage. I no. I know

0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:30.520
<v Speaker 1>you're pregnant, but you're being jealous and now you're being

0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:36.359
<v Speaker 1>emotional rage. You don't understand. Spring heeled Jack is back

0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:41.760
<v Speaker 1>and I have to help catch him. It's not your responsibility.

0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:48.960
<v Speaker 1>This obsession almost destroyed us eight years ago. You don't

0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:53.160
<v Speaker 1>have to help anyone. You only have to help yourself.

0:23:54.040 --> 0:24:05.880
<v Speaker 1>You have to help our baby and me. You don't

0:24:05.880 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 1>have time for this ship. You spent the entire day

0:24:08.600 --> 0:24:11.200
<v Speaker 1>being dragged back into your past. It's not like you

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:16.399
<v Speaker 1>had a choice. I totally agree she's being emotional. I

0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:18.159
<v Speaker 1>have to get some things out of the car. I
